In your second year, you’ll study core modules such as English Phonetics, and Spanish language skills You’ll also choose from options ranging from The Language of Advertising to Stylistics.


The aim of your third year, which is spent living abroad, is to deepen your intercultural sensitivity and your command of the language. You can study at a partner university or may have the opportunity to carry out a work placement and practice your language skills in a real-world context. Staff members within the department will work with you to help ensure that you are ready for your year in Spain.


On your return to Lancaster, your fourth year allows you to develop your Spanish to Common European Framework of Reference for Languages C1/C2 levels. You can also choose to complete a dissertation on a topic you would like to explore in-depth.

Beginners Languages


Studying a language from beginners level is somewhat intense in nature so we only allow students to study one language from beginners level. Please bear this in mind when looking at our first year module options. If you apply to study a degree with a language from beginners level, your optional modules will only include higher level languages and modules in other subject areas.
